Lucas Rabelo was introduced by Flip just over a year ago after joining the team in 2018. Yesterday, he was elevated to the pro ranks. That’s a pretty quick turnaround by any stretch of the imagination, but clearly well-deserved. Flip suffered heavy losses in 2019 with the departures of Louie Lopez and Curren Caples. But the brand still boasts one of the most formidable squads in skateboarding. Have a look at the Matriz crew representative’s debut pro model below.
